History
Statistics
Include chart of% use by type and year, gradual shift to nuclear and wind
Energy Sources
Coal
Easthampton and Aileach Mountains, arco major coal users
Oil
Howland Governorate
Natural Gas
Howland Governorate
Solar
Limited but its getting there
Electricity
Wind Power in Arcerion
Northlea dominant, Foxhey super dependent on it
Hydroelectric Power
River systems and hydroelectric dams, will need a map overviewing major energy locations
Nuclear Power and Nuclear Energy in Arcerion
Reactors in Norham and Moorden, plans for 2 additional, one in Easthampton and one in Presdale
Easthampton one will sell power to Washakara
Consumption
Percentage over time (have a graph showing consumption and then needs provided by renewable/nuclear v. fossil fuels)
Production
Power Stations
Chart
Howland has Natural Gas power plant
Nuclear plants x3-4, plans for 2
Northlea 2 solar plants
easthampton coal plant
chester has natural coal plant
kurst has coal plant being downsized
Producers and Companies
No national control but national standards and regulations (power grid redundancy and safety)
Transmission
Undersea power lines to Foxhey? Maybe?
Municipal and Governorates
Some non-federal plants but mostly centralized by Confederate control
